Wed, 14 Feb 2018 10:03:11 +0000http://thelongchain.wordpress.com/?p=1606#comment-587My anecdotal evidence suggests there’s no pattern at all! And it’s not all necessary financial either, I’m sure the places where parents are forced to more tribunals end up spending more… X

But then I guess some areas may be poorer so perhaps they feel they need to readdress the balance and help them out more in these areas? Chances are though it has nothing to do with it at all.

But even without that, we could at least do with regulations stating some kind of minimum that has to be provided? Wouldn't that make the decisions easier for the decision makers too? ]]>Clean slate would be great wouldn’t it 😁.

Tue, 13 Feb 2018 20:50:34 +0000http://thelongchain.wordpress.com/?p=1606#comment-584Tricky one this. I guess there’s only so much money to go round, and some of those parents you mentioned in your middle section (12 hours care a day?!) would have to give up what they have in order to help others less fortunate because of that postcode lottery. Of course, they’re unlikely to be keen to do that… plus, maybe they think they still aren’t getting enough care?! It’d be great if the slate could be wiped clean and we started out again with a level playing field, but I sadly can’t see that happening. Someone somewhere still needs to make all those difficult decisions about who gets what. I wish I had a magic wand to give everyone what they need 😦

Tue, 13 Feb 2018 20:20:23 +0000http://thelongchain.wordpress.com/?p=1606#comment-583This rings so true. We are in a very similar fortunate position but I will never understand why it all depends on where you live. After all your child’s needs wouldn’t change if you moved location but the support would. On the other hand having been in the Australian system for the first 3 years of my child’s life I can say we have it a million times better in the uk!
